Here are the new entries ranked from best to worst:
Rock n roll has arrived so it's only right that we put the rock n roll record in this batch at the top. It's the record credited with starting the whole thing, though it was the 2nd hit for Bill Haley and his Comets so it clearly didn't.
There were 4 versions of the record "Mr Sandman" which came out around this time, 2 in December and 2 in January and none were the originals. The Four Aces cover is pleasant enough to listen to but the Max Bygraves version is terrible to the point it's the first record I've given zero points to.
Dean Martin finds himself near the top again. I'm not familiar with this particular version but do know the Ames Brothers version and it's a fun record without being anything special.
There's another first for this batch of records compared to the previous 2, female artists. Suzi Miller with the help of the Johnston Brothers do the better version of "Happy Days And Lonely Nights" with Frankie Vaughan's version just coming below. This was his 2nd hit which came a year after his first.
Ruby Murray's record is just boring to me but not quite bad enough to give a zero to. The same could be said of the Bing Crosby record.
I would say overall this batch has been the toughest listen so far and this is reflected in the score.
Score: 27
